Question Question about Gravid female tang.

Okay, two months ago I acquired two shtcs from Emily Cook. They're beautiful, and wonderful, and the female is gravid. Now, I'm still no expert in spotting this, and others can tell much sooner than I can, but I am pretty sure about this one. She's fatter especially on her sides towards her hind legs, and if you hold her up to the light you can see two white masses, one on each side. So, either eggs, or matching tumors. Anyway, she's been noticeably gravid for about 5 weeks now. She has been bred with the male. She has been soaked in warm water. I don't think she's actually egg bound because she looks and acts just great, and the eggs aren't just huge or anything. She sheds perfectly, eats like a pig, very active, doesn't mind being held. So what's taking so long? Is this normal for young females or for first clutches of the season? Is there anything I can do to speed things up?

my female took almost 6 weeks to lay her first clutch, then laid 2 more clutches 2 weeks apart. 2 days ago she laid another clutch, almost 2 months after the last, and they may be fertile, I'm not sure yet. So they can take a while, this was Aaliyahs first year as well, we already have one hatchling from her, the others didn't survive
